Last one from the first instance of the Reckorder Project and another one that came together in a day. This time i was focusing more on the break and again trying to keep the session down to 20 hours. Always been a huge fan of the rolling break so thought it would be a good one to practice while living on our boat while she was getting her hull backed in a place with no internet and very few people 🙂 Simon Owen from Xenophorm studios has again done a really nice quick master on it and it was also broken down in my first Loop Lounge Collection as another remix set. I think this was the first time i used the acapella first which i found made writing the track much easier. Although there are plenty of arrangement and mixdown issues - but happy with it for a days work and was making good improvements in my workflow. The remix set is part of a loop lounge collection here - http://www.thisislooplounge.com/collections/featured-dj-tools/products/reckorder-project-beats-breaks-and-bass-by-dj-narrative There's a bit more on the track from the Reckorder Project post - http://www.reckorder.com/dj-narrative-remix-of-outkast/ Download the track...

Another from the Reckorder Project but this one had a specific release in mind - the aforementioned Beta Birmingham Compilation which was my first release - which was picked up via the Reckorder Project site - just as it was getting constantly shut down by my web hosting for too much traffic. It was then released as part of the latest Beta Birmingham Champagne Socialism Compilation on December 20th 2013, and it also made up one of my remix sets in my first loop lounge collection in 2014 which then got featured in my first performance video for the label in 2015 - so quite a nice learning curve on the back of all of it A bit more on the track from Reckorder Project is here - http://www.reckorder.com/dj-narrative-remix-of-ozomatli/ Download the track - http://www.djnarrative.com/the-music-downloads-page-2/ Download the compilation here - https://soundcloud.com/beta-birmingham/sets/beta-004-champagne-socialism Download the Remix set here - http://www.thisislooplounge.com/collections/featured-dj-tools/products/reckorder-project-beats-breaks-and-bass-by-dj-narrative And the video is...

Another practice track from the reckorder project to try out a new instrument and practice mixing and arrangement. It was inspired by an audiobook i was listening to from alan watts and it's uploaded here as the site's player was exceeding bandwidth. Here's the two posts with a bit of background http://www.reckorder.com/dj-narrative-alan-watts-you-are-it/ & http://www.reckorder.com/you-are-it-mixing-mastering-practice/ Download the track - http://www.djnarrative.com/the-music-downloads-page-2/...

When i was attending the Que Club every weekend without fail one of the many stand out tracks was My House is your House by Montini Experience (or thats what it said on my mates vinyl copy) so i made a short breaks remix of it in 2009 which got merged with another track in 2011 to add to the 1st Prequel album with the intended openess of Mi Casa Es Su Casa following Bruce's interlude.

An attempt at a heavy breaks track after id just bought Massive. The "i will shepherd you from the darkness" sample with the music added a comment on the illusion of fear the media creates which is much more blatantly expressed with the excellent Coldcut vocal which seem to fit the breaks nicely.

6 tracks that i originally intended as practice for my Reckorder project but which i've ended up finishing in June 2014 to create parts, loops and samples for a new remix set project i've been invited onto from loop lounge. The ozomatli remix was released on December 20th 2013 as part of a 12 track EP of remixes and bootlegs from an array of Brum beatsmiths called Champagne Socialism, which is available for free at @beta-birmingham & @beta-test-records. And the rest i've spend a couple of weeks producing inspired by the invitation from loop lounge, all of which makes up my first collection which will be available from Loop Lounge from October 2014. They've turned out ok considering they were intended as practice tracks although i'm really keen to get working on the new stuff when i get back at the end of August 2014. I'm anticipating my future productions will be quite different as i have learnt so much and these all started as practice tracks over a week in september 2013, with the emphasis on learning new plugins and creating a rough track a day. I've replaced the previews i uploaded in December 2013 so as to retain the embeds in the blog posts as there's a bit more info about a few of them on the Reckorder Project > www.reckorder.com/category/reckorder-project/ Download Here...

Very pleased to announce that the aforementioned album of remixes is now finished and available as a free download from Thursday 22nd November 2012 (albeit in a different form than the one i was anticipating!) My original plan was to put together an album which used the best ideas so far but get them up to standard with my new workflow and production techniques. Unfortunatly I forget to take into account that moving over to a mac left the tracks missing about half of the plugins and vsts i was using and some of the files on the backup drive couldn’t be read at all! Tbh though, its been a blessing as the ideas in that tracks are from over the last 5 years and im itching to move forward with my new setup and workflow. Going back to the ideas from such a long period of time and trying to adopt my new approaches to them wasn’t as easy as i hoped and a couple of the tracks i only had one over compressed wav export to work with so all in all a decent effort and glad to have finished! I’ve retained the rough narrative flow of ideas from the initial draft and done some quick and dirty production on most of 12 or so tracks / interludes and all in all they’ve turned out pretty well. Here's a bit more background in case you dont read the info. >> An album of remixes featuring track from last 5 years, put together to raise money for emergency save the children gaza fund.
